Any help or advise very welcome.

Most Kindle books are "protected" by DRM which ties the book the the particular device they were downloaded for. This is what's causing you problems.
If this new Kindle is for you, on your Amazon account, the simplest solution is to set up Family Library sharing. You will both be able to access books bought on the other account from your own Kindles.
If it's a replacement for your wife's Kindle, just register it to her account. No need to manually move files around.
If you want to remove the DRM you'll need to get detailed DRM removal help elsewhere.
